No, that is wrong: KOLL pre-dates Prime and has been available to non-Prime users with Amazon devices. This is what is going away.
I do not actually know what is available in KOLL vs Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited, and have no way to check as I’m both a Prime and KU subscriber. It is at least as much as Prime Reading and might even be anything in KU (and probably payout to content owners is the same). But the latter two are not restricted to Amazon devices and are ‘unlimited’ up to the borrowing limit (1 in the case of Prime Reading and 10 in the case of KU) instead of one per month.
FWIW there were in fact a couple of titles in KOLL that were never available in Prime Reading or Kindle Unlimited, though this is a moot point now.
